Men Six Nations: Teams up for Ireland v France

, , ,

The penultimate round of the 2019 Men’s Six Nations sees Ireland entertain an extremely inconsistent French side at the Aviva Stadium.

Joe Schmidt has made seven changes with Rory Best and Iain Henderson returning to the starting lineup. Jacob Stockdale continues in the left wing slot while John Cooney has beaten Kieran Marmion to the back up nine jersey.

Best is joined in the front row by Cian Healy and Tadhg Furlong while James Ryan makes a return to the second row after missing being rested against Italy. Quinn Roux and Ultan Dillane were solid in the last match but Henderson and Ryan will allow Ireland to find another gear. Peter O’Mahony is the only player retained in the back row with Josh van der Flier and CJ Stander coming in for Sean O’Brien and Jordi Murphy respectively.
